This, strangely, made me sad. Even more so since it's obvious post-Trump presidency that Melania Trump actually did detest being in the White House. Not saying that she's a wonderful human being, or even a good person, but you have to admit that if we assume that she didn't want Trump to become president from the beginning, those four years must have been a real hell.

??? What a horrible fanfic. If I wanted rich white family "drama" I'd really just have started any episode of Arrested Development, at least that one's funny.

A subtle, funny, human story from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie about Donald Trump and his campaign as seen from the eyes of Melania. The voices of each of the characters - Melania, Ivanka and the Donald himself - is pitch perfect. I've heard other people opine that this gives them a certain amount of sympathy for Trump and I certainly wouldn't go that far, but it does humanise the monster somewhat.
